Do you believe in a God

I was just woundering how many of you gaming people believe in a God.  Just woundering, because you would think that some divine being had to influnce the galaxy some way, by making it I mean.  I do and I do think he influnced the galaxy and how lucky we are alive to be here today.  What I do believe is that man makes his own desteny.  God just made us and he decided to let us make our own destenies, its like we are the authors of our own book.  He helped us now and then but its man who decides the futur of our planet.  I hate people who hate God because he didn't prevent 9/11.  We make our own destenies and we can only blame those who made the terrosits made enough to do that.  But I hate terrosit and I wish only to see them dead, but lets stay on the topic.

God, yes, no??

    Yes I believe in God. And about the disasters like 9/11, I heard an interesting theory about them. If none of the wars or natural disasters had ever occured, imagine how incredible overpopulated the world would be today. So perhaps these disasters, like it or not, are God's way of cutting down the populationa bit.

    Also, there are those who argue that if God isn't real, who created the universe? People say the Big Bang. Well, who create the meteors that were involved in the big bang? Now, here's the other side--who created God? ::::31::::::35::

    This won't end well

    Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit

    Well considering that we don't need to belive in GOD anymore cause we have greater knowledge in the the world, then no :P But if it makes people happy then shit happens.

     

    Americans tend to belive because their country is on drugs or sumthing

    I dont, but I have been trying to. I think my athiesm is because I'm a teenager, because this is common in teen years it seems. I dont want to be an athiest all of my life, because when I start to think about dying and death being the end, I start to get sort of depressed.

    Hey would you want to be in a heaven or hell forever? I wouldn't :P Dying and that being the end is a nice thought

    Heaven and hell are actually very scary thoughts when you think about being in a place for all of eternity, no matter how great (or terrible) it is.

    I believe in a Goddess and God,two halves of a whole. But then my religion is considered weird by most. I won't explain it here though. No,I am not a Wiccan.

    I'd say there is an old law to the physical plane of things, something had to of come from something else. Meaning even if the big bang did happen...Where'd the resources come from that created the explosion? And how'd they exist outside of the universe? Or was the universe just tiny back then, then expanded? And if the universe is limited, what is outside of it? A void? But yet...The universe is a void spotted with energy and matter across it's infinite void.

    The lack of belief in a divine will/Creator, relies in the thought of chaos and randomness. Meaning...The chance of us being here without a divine will is something along...Probably 1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000.(For I believe...correct me if I'm wrong, the chance of the big bang happening had a chance of something along the lines of one, one trillionth.)

    Oh hell, the two greatest minds (one being the greatest scientific mind) believed in a Divine Creator. If they, through their vast knowledge and research still believed in a Creator...I think that in itself speaks volumes of these now days atheistic scientists and beliefs.

    So in the end to keep my answer simple, Yes, I believe there is a God.

    what does a dyslexic agnostic insomniac spend his time doing?

    ...he sits up all night wondering if there is a dog. (if you dont get it, you might try looking up those words. ::::01::)

    Of course my views will offend people, but you asked opinion. And Finwe, En1gma, etc. image, forgive my offenses!

    People only believe in god to have some hope that they are not alone. They want something to matter in their lives when they have nothing else and cannot rely on anyone. They believe in god so they think that a life as horrible as this is not the only life they will experience. They believe in god as a scapegoat (i.e. if something "bad" happens, "god works in mysterious ways" , etc.).

    Let me ask this. Do you believe in aliens? I don't myself, but those who do are considered crazy and some have even been committed for their extreme beliefs. However, even though there is more "physical proof" of the "existence" aliens, people who believe in god are considered sane. Both you cannot see, feel, nor hear and neither have any physical evidence of existence, but yet, the people who put their belief in god are considered mentally stable.

    Overall, my belief in aliens and god = 0.

    dunno man. I kinda just believe in god because i think theres gotta be somthing after death. Doesn't really have anything to do with whats going on in my life or life at all for that matter. Plus, my life is just fine, so that doesn't matter either.

  • DekronDekron Member UncommonPosts: 7,359
    That was kind of my point as well. Life after death. It's another reason why people want to believe.
  • Zerocool032Zerocool032 Member Posts: 729

    It depends on what God you are refering to.

    If your talking about the God of Abraham, then yes, I believe,

    yes, i believe.

    Most people that have God complexes are convicted murderers.  That someone you like to follow? 

    I'm a Christian, and all christianity has done for me was good and continues to do so.  Some people have problems accepting it because of their own doubts.  I look at all "opinions" about not believing in God (Jesus Christ) as their personal doubts not opinions.

    I never liked that song, (What if God was one of us) it's just not right.

    well, i believe in a god....but now in the same way most people do. i believe a god had to have started the universe, but that's just because like all humans i cant contemplate infinity. i just cant understand how an atom (going to big band theory here) could have been there FOREVER, it had to have been created sometime, right?

    what he/she/it did after that i'm not sure, nor do i really care.

    i do believe in the big bang, evolution, and all that stuff.

    Hope, love, redemption...even logic. These and others you can attribute to a belief in God. And yes, some people use God as a scapegoat when bad things happen, which I'd go into detail of why I feel there is a large fallacy in that, but I don't want to start too much. If you'd wish to discuss it further just send me a PM.

    Now as for aliens...Well...Maybe in the past people have been considered loons for such belief's, but it's starting to become more widely accepted and argued about when dealing with belief's in extra-terrestrial life.

    Now hearing and seeing is relative to the person. Although you may question the mental stability of such people. The spiritual universe could be something akin to looking at something on the atomic level. Before the technology came round about, they couldn't prove that there were things on the atomic scale.

    People may not notice it...But those who think that having faith in a divine being is fallacy...I'm sure themselves have had faith in something/someone that they've never heard, seen, or felt. How are we to know that Abraham Lincoln...George Washington...Alexander the Great, or Julius Caesar ever existed? Not many people question their existence...

    There is so many scientific facts out there that proove parts of the Bible wrong. Last time I went to Sunday school, the parent tried to brainwash us by stating that astrologists were lost souls who did not believe in god. I just think that some people need to open their eyes and quit hiding behind old ways.

    I'm not saying someone who believes in god is crazy, but rather how people are viewed for their beliefs. I do have to disagree that hope, love, redemption and logic constitutes as a belief in god. That is similar to saying that one cannot hold moral values if one does not believe in god. And I would like to hear your details on the fallacy of using god as a scapegoat. When it comes to talk of religion, I really think you have some thoughtful and insightful comments. Although I do not believe myself, I am always interested in hearing why others believe as they do.

    yeah, of course scientific facts prove a lot of religeon wrong, but it's not like the religeons are trying to be totally scientifically correct.
